Wembanyama Tops 2025/26 All-Defensive Teams in New Positionless Era

The NBA unveiled the 2025/26 All-Defensive Teams via a 100‑media member ballot. Victor Wembanyama was the lone unanimous First Team pick with 200 points; the First Team also included Chet Holmgren, Ausar Thompson, Rudy Gobert and Derrick White. The Second Team featured Scottie Barnes, Cason Wallace, Bam Adebayo, OG Anunoby and Dyson Daniels. The teams are positionless this year, with several first‑time honorees; Gobert now has nine total All-Defensive selections and Wembanyama’s defensive profile continues to rise.

Wembanyama, Gobert Lead 2025–26 NBA All-Defense Teams

Victor Wembanyama headlines the 2025–26 NBA All-Defense teams, anchoring the first team with Ausar Thompson, Chet Holmgren, Rudy Gobert and Derrick White. The second team features Scottie Barnes, Cason Wallace, Bam Adebayo, OG Anunoby and Dyson Daniels. Castle and Amen Thompson narrowly missed the honors, and while All-Defense recognition is prestigious, it does not impact contracts the way All-NBA selections can.

Thunder guards carry OKC past Lakers to complete Western sweep

OKC closed out the Lakers 115-110 in Game 4 to complete the West semifinal sweep, led by Ajay Mitchell’s playoff career‑high 28 and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 35, with Holmgren delivering a late dunk to seal the win as the Thunder advance to the Western Conference Finals. Los Angeles fought back with a stronger fourth quarter and big contributions from LeBron James and Rui Hachimura, but 19 Lakers turnovers produced 22 points for OKC and left questions looming about the Lakers’ offseason and LeBron’s future.

Holmgren shines as Thunder grab 2-0 lead, Williams hamstring could loom large

Chet Holmgren led the Thunder with a 19-point, 8-rebound, 4-block performance as Oklahoma City beat the Suns 120-107 to take a 2-0 series edge, but Jalen Williams left with a left hamstring strain and will undergo an MRI, creating a potential setback for OKC’s title hopes if he misses time. The Pistons leaned on depth to edge the Magic 98-83, improving balance with five players in double figures to even their series at 1-1. Desmond Bane’s 12-point, 2-for-11 shooting night for Orlando underscored the high expectations after his trade, while Suns host Game 3 on Saturday and OKC will monitor Williams (and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s hand) in the days ahead.

Chet Holmgren: The Thunder’s Quiet Revolution

Chet Holmgren, a 23-year-old Thunder star, is emerging as a franchise cornerstone with a rare blend of shooting, rim protection, and a refined handle, following an NBA title and a lucrative four-year extension. The piece traces his high-upside growth, from a Minnesotan upbringing and diverse community to OKC’s culture-driven, youth-forward roster, and explores how his evolving game—and mindset about team fit, rivalry with Victor Wembanyama, and off-court poise—could elevate the Thunder to rarefied heights.
